Mitt Romney is not the only presidential candidate picking fights with children today. Ron Paul just shouted at two kindergartners to stop looking at his porch that way! And the Barack Obama campaign angered the powers-that-be at Sesame Street for including footage of Big Bird in their latest anti-Romney attack ad. “Mitt Romney knows it’s not Wall Street you have to worry about,” the ad’s narrator warns. “It’s Sesame Street.”

Actually, it’s Sesame Street that Obama now needs to worry about. Per a message posted to SesameWorkshop.org: “Sesame Workshop is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization and we do not endorse candidates or participate in political campaigns. We have approved no campaign ads, and as is our general practice, have requested that the ad be taken down.”

Those following the Romney-Obama-Bird feud will note that though Big Bird appeared on Saturday Night Live over the weekend, he avoided saying anything positive or negative about either party or any policies. Huh! Was Big Bird doing a Barack-Obama-at-the-first-debate impression on Saturday Night Live? Perhaps it’s partisan after all!

In response to the ad, Romney told a crowd in Iowa, “You have to scratch your head when the president spends the last week talking about saving Big Bird.” Good Lord, Barack Obama. That’s now once we’ve agreed with Mitt Romney. Get your act together.
